What if Google Voice were instead Microsoft Voice? And what if Windows Mobile were as modern and competitive as Android? Would you be as surprised then that Apple is discouraging iPhone owners from using the service?
Apple is not "discouraging" iPhone owners from using the service. It is outright preventing them.
And no, I wouldn't be surprised, just as I'm not surprised by this. I do feel bad for iPhone owners, but as an Android owner with GV I can't say I'm not enjoying this rare feeling of smug superiority.
- Periodic 17y agoI'm probably going to be buying a smart phone in the next year. I'm finding myself leaning more and more towards an Android phone as the applications at least seem more open. I like a lot more control over my device than Apple seems to want me to have. As I recall though, you still can't get root on any of the Android phones without trickery, right?
- teilo 17y agoIf you call it trickery to install a older version of the G1 firmware via a raw system image (.nbh), and from there move to a more "enlightened" firmware. It's really not that hard. Not sure if anyone has achieved this on the HTC Hero or Magic, however, and from what I have seen, there is much to like in the Hero.
